For years, author Elizabeth Lyons has been asked how she does it all.

Whether she's negotiating a truce between her 10- and 5-year-old while eulogizing goldfish, swinging a sledgehammer in her garage-to-be-nursery, bribing her twins to keep their pants on in the grocery store, planning her product line, strategically placing carrot seeds in her garden, receiving life lessons from her oldest daughter, or explaining to her kids why a fellow post office patron has pierced nipples, Elizabeth Lyons has discovered that the secret to navigating through the land of euphoria and hysteria is a carefully crafted set of rules--for herself!

You Cannot Be Serious is a contemporary and humorous roadmap for ''doing it all'' that any woman can relate to for untying her own ''nots.'' And for moms who lie awake at night wondering if their sanity will remain intact until the kids move out, Lyons provides a girlfriend-to-girlfriend guide, not just for getting through each day, but for being able to say with conviction, ''I love my life!''

This book drops you into the busy day-to-day life of a thirty-something mother of five, who has learned to keep her sanity with great equanimity and humor by devising important rules for herself. You will chuckle, gasp, and grab your favorite snack to keep you company as you vicariously weave and bob through the perils and promises of parenting with the author and her brood. Even if you're not a parent, this book will entertain and inspire you, and give you great appreciation for all the Moms of the world who manage to keep their head and heart in the right place, against overwhelming (and understandable) odds of "losing it" on a daily basis.
